New York Court of Appeals
Bay Ridge Air Rights, Inc., Respondent v. State of New York, Appellant
March 23, 197844 N.Y.2d 49
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that a claim for apportionment of damages does not accrue until the claimant actually makes payment to the injured party’s estate, so the statute of limitations had not begun to run. The court declined to intervene in the State’s legislative role regarding accrual dates.
